The nice thing about the little pink erasers at the ends of pencils is that they are just the right softness and have just enough abrasive to clean oxide off easily and safely. They are also just the right size to get them into many tight places and what's more, they come with a long stick attached that you can wield them with and, when they are all worn out, you can sharpen the other end of the stick and, hey-presto!, you have a working writing and drawing instrument. Recycling at it's best. The pencil is your friend.
